  1. Well part 3 is  coming to a close. I got the motor rebuilt and made 710rwhp on the old school Greddy T88 and 24 PSI. I posted a video and literally less then 12 hours later it was sold. received the deposit today.

     

    Part 4 will be out this spring and will consist of a 2jz NA-T mated to the same drivetrain in the orange Z that the RB was.

     

    Currently I have the block assembled, The head has been modded to accept TT electronics. Need to order cams and springs. assemble head and bolt down. I also have the powerhouse Powerglide adapter.

     

    Its going to be a fun build. as I get pics I will post in this build thread. For now if anyone knows of forums that deal with NA-T conversions post them up. also and good facebook pages that list parts for sale would be cool.

     

     

  2. HAHA yep I agree. Don't plan on having that many blocks lying around as spares.  But heres the deal. I can sell my setup turnaround and finish my rear suspension, install parachute, build 2j to make more power then my rb currently sits (means going faster) upgrade my current ECU, and still have 2K left from the sale. I love RBs don't get me wrong. just don't have the cash to sink into a drysump system. If I spin a bearing on the 2 j for the same reason (oil starvation)  I can go grab a motor from pick and pull for 150 bux, then slap all my stuff on it and be done.

     

    In fact I plan on having a spare short block for racing season.... and on the off chance I do hurt it. I could literally in one day have the motor out and replaced. Cant do that on my budget with an RB.

     

    That's my reasoning. redoing the setup is easy.

  3. Im using the same pan. I also noticed the same things. Although my pickup mating surface was not bowed and sealed up pretty nice. I didn't see in your review... but I have heard from several others that some of the holes don't line up. The only ones I had to enlarge were the big ones with 2 studs. I also has to trim some of the welds back for the bolts to sit flush. I personally think it was an awesome deal. I got it direct from CXracing here in the states.

  4. It goes either way.... comparing stock to stock is apple and oranges. to get a rb25 to what a rb26 can do with just a boost controller kind of evens out the price point.

     

    If you get into pistons rods and head work start out with a cheaper rb25 as with comparable mods I have seen rb25s put down some serious number's. but lets understand that neither are cheap.

     

    I know this is an rb thread and I bleed RB, but I have said it many times. if it ever fails catastrophically I'm going GM 4.8 with twin 76s
